Every musical beat of foxtrot is 4 beats, 1 beat is a remake, and the third beat is a remake. Slow tempo equals 2 beats, and fast tempo equals 1 beat. Social dance is a kind of dance that is deeply loved by everyone. Social dance is a combination of dance and fitness, with simple movements and pleasant music. Social dance consists of many kinds of dances, such as Pingsi, Kuaisan, Rumba, Guitar Bar, slow three, Tango, Slow Four and Middle Three. In modern ballroom dancing, except tango, all ballroom dances are held in the same way, as follows: the dancers' feet are parallel and close together, and the figure of eight cannot be opened; The tip of the right foot is aligned between the partner's feet; The dancer's center of gravity should focus on the front foot. The palm of the leader's right hand is inward and supported above the left waist of the follower. The elbow should be in a straight line with the fingertip, and the five fingers of the palm should be close together to transmit instructions to the follower through the center of the palm. The big arm is basically oval with the shoulder. The left hand is lightly placed on the deltoid muscle of the leader's right arm, and the four fingers are close together, and the tiger's mouth is positioned. Put your whole arm gently on the leader's arm and don't leave contact. Leaders and followers hold hands. Head and viewpoint, under the premise of keeping the horizontal lines of two shoulders parallel, turn the head sideways to the left for 45 degrees and look straight ahead.

Foxtrot dance originated from African-American dance and appeared as early as 1900. It was created by American ballroom dancing expert Willon Kaiser and his wife. It imitates the walking of horses and has simple steps.
Being single was very popular at that time. On the basis of 19 13, Harry Fox choreographed and created a dance with the rhythm of American neo-black jazz, and introduced a funny song and dance designed by himself, which premiered in the roof garden of new york cinema, starring Fox and Yanqi Dooley. Unexpectedly, applause thundered and people shouted "Fox Fox"! Therefore, it quickly became popular in the United States and some European countries, and was called "Fox Dance", which was later adapted into English dance by British dance expert Yue Se Fang Li Bin. It was not until 1928 that it entered the first wharf in China-Shanghai Beach. Because the English translation of "fox" means fox, people in China call it foxtrot. In fact, foxtrot has nothing to do with foxes, but it feels like a trot. It is just a name code of dance, and there is no need to investigate right or wrong. The style of foxtrot is characterized by strong sense of mobility, light movements, smooth stretching, stability, generosity and leisure. When moving forward, the footwork moves lightly with the ground, and when moving backward, the heel cannot be dragged heavily on the floor. The stride is big, the unsynchronized long lines don't stop, and the dance steps should be continuous and smooth. The orientation is changeable, and the upper body moves back and forth continuously, and the reflectivity should not be too great. When moving forward or backward, the strength should be kept forward or backward. The two partners kept clever contact without broken bodies, and the dance steps were smoothly connected. At the same time, the foxtrot technique uses a lot of turning movements, which highlights the characteristics of the dance. Foxtrot is a kind of oblique pendulum. The usual ups and downs begin to rise at the end of the first step, keep rising at the end of the second and third steps, and then fall at the end of the third step. The ups and downs are parabolic. Beginners should not use waltz to do foxtrot. It is particularly important to note that when retreating, the toes of the front feet will rise first and then leave the ground, so that the body will rise and then fall, but the feet will not. It is rare for both feet to retreat and rise at the same time, but the front heel will rise, which is called barefoot rise. But different dance steps have different lifts. The music of foxtrot is elegant, with a rhythm of 4/4 beats and about 30 bars per minute. The rhythm is divided into fast and slow, fast accounting for 1 beat and slow accounting for 2 beats. Foxtrot is a very relaxed dance, but few people dance well in the ballroom, which may be related to the fact that foxtrot needs spacious and uncrowded places and lacks special teaching and training.
Editing this paragraph is too famous.
The word "fox" in foxtrot is a word that puzzles China dance fans. In fact, the word "fox" has nothing to do with foxes, so we can't find traces of foxes in this dance step. The word "fox" comes from the name of American acrobat Harry Fox, who created the foxtrot. Because "fox" means "fox" in English, the author suspects that the old gentleman who first translated this dance into "foxtrot" made the first translation mistake. But since the word "foxtrot" has been widely used in China, we don't need to correct it. Fundamentally speaking, the word "foxtrot" is only a symbol representing this kind of social dance for self-entertainment. The legend of foxtrot first appeared in the summer of 19 14. An acrobat named Fox was invited to give a song and dance performance in the rooftop garden of new york Cinema, one of the largest theaters in the world. The cinema owner wanted to attract more movie audiences, but unexpectedly, he started a new ballroom dance movement. Foxtrot is the most important development achievement of all ballroom dancing. Its 2/4 beat trot and slow walk combine with Tsuihiji, which makes dancers feel very comfortable. Ragtime's dance is like one step. Although the dance steps are cheerful and lively, the rhythm from beginning to end inevitably makes dancers feel monotonous and easy to get tired. Foxtrot dance has been greatly enriched by the enthusiasm and love of a new generation of dancers, and a large number of variants have appeared. Although foxtrot is so famous, it is thought-provoking that the founders of these popular dances, including Fox, did not win honor, wealth and happiness for it. 192 1 year, fox was down and out due to debts of 17777 yuan. This is really a historical tragedy. Although Fox is experienced, the dance steps he invented have been preserved and developed in the later call dance and Chaucer dance.
Application of editing skills in this paragraph
Stable basic dance skills are very important for contestants. The so-called correct technique covers all the important items in standard dance, which makes dancers produce posture, style, movement and beautiful musicality. All outstanding and well-known dance artists are based on hard training and mastering these important basic dance skills. The most important thing is to understand the composition of these correct skills clearly and thoroughly. If the technology of this chain plays an important role, its whole structure will be destroyed. Assuming that these incorrect knowledge and information are transmitted by coaches who train national dancers, in some European countries, this will form a "shock effect". Like a waterfall, incorrect skills will be transmitted to learners at lower levels than these dancers. Prerequisites: You must know the composition of the correct partner relationship, which is based on the following points: (a) Physical contact, and you should keep physical contact from beginning to end in any dance step. (b) Except the tango, all four modern dances move by swinging their bodies. (c) Inverse motion is the main driving force of rotation and rotation, and it is also the principle of extroverts' body posture. (d) Swing and tilt are mainly used to balance lateral tilt. Broken track is a special inclination, which is not within the definition of technical specification. (e) Rising and falling depend on different dance characteristics. (f) Leg tracking, that is, the foot gently sweeps across the ground and ends under the body. (g) The position of the foot, the correct positioning of the foot and the fact that the foot is parallel (except varus). (h) Footstep skills, training the flexibility of both feet and skillfully ups and downs. The general principle of foxtrot: foxtrot is the key event in the competition. When teaching foxtrot, a good teacher will definitely focus on training the basic representative steps of foxtrot and whether the two partners can keep clever contact without breaking their bodies. 1.progress moves smoothly on the floor, which comes from their understanding of the principles of body contact and body tilt. 2. The quality of turning/rotating movement is smooth, which depends on their clear understanding of the principle of reflexive movement. This action activates almost all turns or rotations, and it is necessary to add body contact and body tilt to make the rotation smoother. 3. Primary way a quality and rhythm tilt is to add a reflexive movement (CBM) to the whole body, and tilt the body (non-rotation) during the whole turning process. 4. Rise and fall (rise and fall; Fall) The smooth and graceful lift in foxtrot is like a yacht floating on the smooth waves. Not only the elastic movement of the knee, but also the good control of the ankle and foot on the lift. This is also the dancer's ability to produce correct and inherent characteristics. These four dynamic movements of moving forward, rotating, tilting and lifting must combine these skills into wonderful, beautiful and artistic movements. Back to the reflexive action (CBM), the place where this tool is especially used is the external partner. For example, foxtrot represents the feather step in dance steps, and most world champion dancers can say that they have spent hundreds of hours practicing this basic step. When CBM is used as an external companion (such as a man's feathering step): Step 1: The right foot advances with CBM, and he and his partner are in an in-line position, but the body in the opposite position (left) is out of the foot under synchronous guidance (note: the reflexive movement forms the rotation of the body due to the elasticity of the knee standing on the foot). Step 2: Step forward with your left foot. With the increase of left guide, you are ready to be an external companion in the next step. Step 3: The right foot advances to the outside partner, while the left body is still at the cutting edge position, which is the so-called reflexive position CBMP(CBMP is similar to the reflexive position (CBM), but the stepping foot is on the same line as the other foot, and its appearance seems to be different from CBM, that is, the reflexive position does not rotate the body). Now let's talk about the very important part: a woman should keep in touch with her partner and change her body angle, so the relative position with her partner should be from coaxial position to the outer partner, then back to coaxial position, and then follow the next step, with her left foot moving forward (maybe three steps or backwards). Although the action of the external partner seems simple, it is often misunderstood and the dance is wrong. Even in international competitions, if you want to achieve excellent results, you need to practice the following three basic items: physical contact, correct grip and artistic posture between partners. Now let's talk about it again. If the man's body has no angle in the first step without the outside partner's reflexive action, then the man's left foot must move obliquely instead of linearly, which will cause three times the mistake: (a) In the third step, in order to move to the woman's right, the man will almost certainly lose contact with his partner's body. (b) The lady has crossed his right hip, and the grip between the partners has been distorted, and the two have formed a very uncomfortable posture. (c) At this time, their appearance is twice as wide as it should be, their posture has been destroyed, and there is no artistic beauty at all. Taking conspicuous choreography as a shortcut and trying to skip the idea of reaching the peak of skills seems fascinating, but it is tantamount to a mirage of self-confusion. Don't fall into this trap.
Edit the basic dance steps of this paragraph.
1. In the feathering step, the man's right foot takes a step forward, not a straight step, but a slight step to the left-slow down his left foot along the direction of his right foot and stick it next to it to move forward, not a straight step, but his left foot leans slightly to the right-the right foot moves quickly along his left foot, and when he moves forward next to his left foot, his right foot leans slightly to the upper right, and at this time the left and right feet have become tandem. Just like walking, the body direction has turned slightly to the right-the left foot moves forward along the right foot, sticks to the left side of the right foot, and leans out to the upper right after passing the right side of the right foot-the slow-moving woman takes a step back with her left foot, which is a straight step, slightly different from the dance steps of her male partner-the slow right foot moves backward on the right side of the left foot along the left foot retreat route, and after passing the left foot position, the right foot moves slightly to the left. To match the dance steps of the male partner-take a quick step back with the left foot and step back along the right side of the right foot, so as to conform to the position of the right foot. At this point, his body has changed from the initial direction, that is, he has turned left slightly-his right foot quickly took a step back and linearly retreated along the edge of his left foot-slowly. When he starts the first step with his left foot, his left foot is inclined to the upper left, and this step can also be straight out first, and then. When the left foot is transferred to the ground, the right foot should step behind the left foot at the same time and then turn right. In the right place, the right foot and the left foot are juxtaposed, but the juxtaposition time is very short-after the right foot reaches the right place, the right palm should still turn to the ground, and at the same time, the left foot has moved to the right foot, becoming a walking state in tandem-following the right foot and retreating along the right side of the left foot. At first, this step was due to the gait. When transferring, the left foot crosses in front of the right foot at the same time and reaches the upper left of the right foot. At this time, the left and right feet are walking again, with the left foot in front and the right front behind-as soon as the left foot moves to the right, the right foot goes forward, straight ahead-and the left foot goes forward again. This step connects the first two steps-slow female dance, step back with her right foot, go to the right place, follow the ground with her foot, and turn her sole off the ground-when the slow right foot moves with her heel, her left foot should also move at the same time, and the time for patting her right foot during the transfer process is extremely short-the left foot beats her right foot, the right foot immediately moves forward, and the left foot moves forward again. Move with the sole of your foot-slowly move your right foot across the back of your left foot and stop when it is equal to the moving left foot-quickly move your left foot across the back of your right foot, take a step back, and move your right foot forward at the same time-this step is the end and first step of another dance step-and slow down. 3. Turn right, the man steps forward with his right foot, and at the same time, his left foot slowly turns from his right foot. In fact, when the right foot moves with the sole of the foot, the left foot moves at the same time. When it reaches the right place, the left and right feet are in a parallel state-when the left foot rotates, the right foot takes a step back, and when it reaches the right place, it forms a state similar to that of walking with the left foot, with the left foot in front and the right foot behind-the left foot retreats against the right foot and straightly retreats-retreats. At this point, the left foot should turn with the sole of your foot, and at the same time the right foot should move a little to the right, and then cross the left foot, and the two feet are parallel-slowly, the left foot slightly leans to the edge of the right foot, and then makes a straight step forward-slowly, the left foot takes a step back and turns at the same time, and this step is to turn with the heel instead of the sole-slowly, when the left foot turns with the heel, the right foot should also move all over. After that, the left and right feet are in a combined state-the left foot moves forward quickly, straight forward-the right foot moves forward quickly, passes through the left foot, reaches a suitable place, and touches the ground with the sole of the foot, and at the same time, the left foot also moves and cooperates-slowly crosses the left foot from behind the right foot, and then moves forward-slowly, although the left and right feet are separated, they stand in parallel, and the right foot passes by the left foot. The woman slowly took a step back. 4. Turn left, zigzag. A man takes a big step forward with his left foot, turns around with the sole of his foot on the ground-slowly crosses his right foot from behind his left foot to the right place-quickly crosses his left foot from the front of his right foot, and then takes another step. The right foot is parallel-step forward when the right foot passes the left foot-step back when the woman dances slowly-the left foot reaches the right foot before crossing the right foot-step forward when the right foot moves fast-step back when the left foot moves fast-5. Turn around quickly, and the man takes a step back when dancing, but this quick turn is done after taking a step back. This step is usually an arc-shaped backward step to cooperate with the second turn-slow down the right foot before the left foot crosses, and at the same time transfer the left foot with the heel to cooperate with this action-the left foot rushes out, and the right foot moves at the same time when stepping out-the left foot rushes out next to the left foot, and then retreats. At this time, the left corner is in front and the right foot is behind, just like walking posture-the left foot slows down and the right foot passes. After completion, the left and right feet are folded into a figure of eight-the right foot moves one step to the upper left-the left foot moves one step forward-the woman's right foot slowly takes a step forward, and when she gets to the right place, she moves with the sole of her foot-the left foot slowly crosses behind the right foot, and then makes an arc step-the right foot quickly retreats, and if there is any difficulty, she moves her right foot back a little and then moves forward-she moves her left foot forward quickly. It is sideways-slowly move your right foot forward, sideways, cross behind your left foot, and get to the right place-fast left foot retreat, you must retreat along your right foot-fast right foot is almost straight-slow. 6. Waveform right turn The man takes a step forward with his left foot and turns around with his sole-slowly cross his right foot with his left foot, and then make an arc curve parallel to his left foot. When his right foot moves, his left foot should still move with the sole of his foot-as soon as his right foot reaches the right place, his left foot will immediately take a step back along the edge of his right foot-his right foot will take a step back again and again-and his left foot will slowly take a step back. There are two ways to retreat, one is arc retreat, and the other is straight retreat-the right foot takes a step back quickly, and the action situation is the same as that when the left foot retreats in the fifth step, but the left and right feet are different-the left foot takes a step back quickly-the previous step slowly. Finally, do a 180 degree turn, first move with the sole of your foot and then move with your heel. At the same time, cooperate with the moving left foot-slow down the left foot to take a step forward-slow down the woman's right foot to take a step backward, and move with the heel when it reaches the right place-slow down the posture of moving with the heel before the left foot crosses the right foot. When these two steps are completed, the left and right feet are together, but only for an instant-the right foot moves forward quickly-the left foot moves forward quickly-the right foot moves forward quickly-the right foot moves forward quickly, and the left foot straddles behind the right foot-when the left foot slowly straddles behind the right foot, the right foot moves forward half a step-the right foot moves back slowly-and slows down 7. To weave a man's pace, step forward with your left foot-step forward with your right foot-step backward with your left foot-step backward with your right foot-step forth, step forward with your left foot, without moving back and forth with your left foot, it's just a step to move a little half a step to the right in the same place-move your left foot horizontally for half a step, then straighten it out with your right foot-step 6, move it to the ground with your sole. Otherwise, you will not be able to start moving-right foot forward-left foot forward-right foot backward in women's dance-left foot backward, and at the same time, move your right foot with your heel to the right place-right foot forward-left foot forward over right foot-right foot flat-left foot backward. Then turn around and move forward-take a step with your right foot along the right side of your left foot-take a step with your left foot-take a step forward with your right foot behind your left foot, take a half step, and be parallel to your left foot-take a step back with your left foot-take a step back with your right foot-slow down.
